Newcastle Falcons are thrilled to announce that TyneMet will face Queen Ethelburga’s in an exciting Associations of Colleges (AoC) Premiership North fixture at Kingston Park on Friday November 29.

This match will be part of the Big Night Oot 5 event, with kick-off at 4.30pm, giving fans a thrilling rugby double-header alongside Falcons’ clash with Saracens later that evening.

Currently leading the AoC Premiership North, TyneMet has had an impressive start to the season, securing three straight wins. With national knock-out qualification in their sights this fixture promises to be a competitive and action-packed encounter.

TyneMet have developed into a well-rounded and talented squad that continues to grow throughout the season. Their fast-paced, expansive brand of rugby and strong all-around performances make them an exciting team to watch.

The players’ dedication to training at Kingston Park has been pivotal in their development, while their strong squad mentality remains key to their success. This match will showcase their hard work and determination on the field.

Speaking on the announcement, TyneMet head coach Zoe Hornby said: “This curtain-raiser fixture against Queen Ethelburga’s is a golden opportunity for the team to showcase their talent, build more momentum and make a statement that will resonate long after the final whistle. 

“We have had a good run of competitive games and we are ready for another against QE. As head coach I am delighted with how well the team has developed so far this season on and off the pitch. I am looking forward to seeing the boys play in this very special occasion. “

TyneMet captain Joseph Ross added: “It’s a great opportunity for the boys to get to play at home before a Falcons match. It’s one of the many great opportunities we get on the Rugby Excellence programme at Tyne Met. 

“It also gives us a platform to display what we’ve been working hard on in training over the past few weeks.”
